By admin ⋅ April 1, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Over the past 40 years, Flynn residents have safeguarded their school and community centre and the unique heritage values of the building and grounds for the future benefit of the community. Some key achievements are saving the school and preschool more than once, including saving the school from demolition, and keeping the buildings and grounds for community use.

Flynn P&C submission to the school closures inquiry

By flynn ⋅ April 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Flynn Primary School was a popular and healthy neighbourhood school and community centre before it was closed in 2006. The Flynn P&C believes the school and community resource centre were wrongfully closed and that remedial action is needed.
